Inside the Village Shrine, the elders were all taken aback after hearing Mo Wen's account.
"What? Bai Xu? I have never heard of such a Chimera. Young friend, do you have a way to help? You must save these children; we are just old bones with not much time left, but these children... Old Man bows to you." The leading elder was about to kneel down upon hearing Mo Wen mention that the children's Shen Hun had been severely eroded, leading to confusion at best and death at worst. The other elders grew anxious; these children were the future hope of the village. If something happened to them, the entire village would face a severe talent shortage, and others in the village had also been affected.
Mo Wen hurriedly stepped forward to support the elder. "Senior, what are you doing? It's not as serious as you think. As long as we find the essence of this Bai Xu and eliminate it, we can manage. I will write a prescription first to stabilize the children's condition." He then wrote out a prescription and handed it to the elder.
"Erniu, go to the warehouse and fetch the medicine according to the young friend's prescription..."
"Senior, this matter should be handled by others. Brother Erniu and I will go find that Bai Xu."
"How can just the two of you manage? I will summon more people right away..."
"Senior, just leave this matter to us. If it truly is Bai Xu, we can handle it. You should arrange for others to take care of these children. Also, this matter should not be made known to everyone to avoid causing panic."
"What you say makes sense; Old Man was foolish." The leading elder understood Mo Wen's intention and turned around to instruct, "What happened today must not leave this shrine."
...
"Er Gou Brother, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous at such a young age; I feel ashamed as your older brother. By the way, where do we go to find that Bai Xu? Do you already know where it is?" The two exited the shrine and headed towards Mo Wen's small courtyard.
"I don't know."
"Then..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Hearing Mo Wen's words, Erniu was stunned. Earlier in the shrine, he had confidently stated they would definitely eliminate Bai Xu, but now he claimed not to know its whereabouts. What exactly was Er Gou Brother up to? However, ever since Mo Wen saved him, he had grown deeply respectful of him throughout their journey together. So now he believed that since Er Gou Brother said they would eliminate that Chimera, there must be a way.
...
"Er Gou Brother, think carefully; is there anywhere in this village that can be accessed without going through a Magic Circle?" The two sat at a stone table in Mo Wen's courtyard, continuing to list possible ways into the village before ruling them out one by one. Kao Shu Village's defenses were comprehensive and had been established for thousands of years; it had withstood many Chimera attacks over time.
"Sigh, there really isn't any more. Let's take a break; I'll boil some water for tea so we can think slowly..." With that, Erniu went over to the water tank and picked up a ladle to draw water.
"Wait!" Mo Wen suddenly recalled his earlier feeling when he was about to draw water. However, he hadn’t voiced it then because he merely sensed something was off about the water; asking would seem distrustful. But he didn’t approach to check if there was an issue with the water; he decided to confirm the source first.
